Multi-tasking at the Boston Convention Center
October 27th, 2007 by Allen Voivod
I’ve been reading “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” to my son the last few nights at bedtime, and been put in mind of Sally’s line: “If someone told me I’d be sitting in a pumpkin patch on Halloween night, I’d have said they were crazy.”
Well, it’s the last Saturday in October, and if you’d told me two months ago that I’d be at the Boston Convention Center for not one, but two events…
The first is Fall VON 2007, which is the big IP communications trade show event. We’re managing the Iperia exhibition there, and it’s the first time I’ve ever dealt with a trade show on any scale. Today, tomorrow, and Monday are the booth set-up days, and what an incredible learning experience it is. I’ve been bombarding Bob Bonfiglio (say that five times fast) of Metro Exhibit with dozens of questions - thank goodness he’s a patient and pleasant guy.
The other thing happening here is PodCamp Boston 2, and the energy and passion on display here is nothing short of breathtaking. I’m dropping into sessions here and there when I’m not peeking in on the Iperia booth construction.
I’ve just finished the “Bigger Better Deal of Podcasting” session, which was more about personal development, posture, correct breathing and hydration - surprise! More about other sessions later.
